She is a former resident of Il Aluk[1], but she now resides in Evenore, where locally she is known as the Lady of Evenore.[2] She is the wife of Lord Gareff Harrowing[3], though he is currently imprisoned somewhere within it.[2]
Background
Born and raised in Il Aluk into a wealthy merchant family, Clarisse was wed to Lord Gareff Harrowing in an arranged marriage. Bearing no love for her husband, Clarisse lived as a veritable prisoner in Lord Harrowing's manor estate.[4]
In order to achieve freedom from Lord Harrowing, she entreated with and eventually liberated Domenic. However, he was as oppressive a lover as Lord Harrowing was a husband. When both men became involved in mortal combat and reached a stalemate, they each called for Clarisse's support, with Harrowing laying claim to her obedience as his wife, and Domenic claiming he had taken control over her through seduction. Instead of choosing either, Clarisse unleashed and assumed control over the goblyns Domenic had created, refused both men and used her new servants to seal them away in the otherworldly prison Harrowing had once created for his enemy and his armies.[5]
